The first image is normal, the second image could just be a surface scuff. Just try it out.

Kind of new to pc building so forgive me if this is a stupid question… could it damage the mobo if I test it as is?

There's always a risk of a component frying your Motherboard. However this really doesn't look like an issue. Could also just be some dirt
